Can you share what exactly you changed with 'tunefs'?

On a related note, how horrible is it to do the following to a
Solaris-based cache server (aside from the obvious impact from wiping
out the cache) ?

     su - squid -c 'squid -k shutdown'; sleep 31
     umount /squid
     newfs -v -o space -m 1 -f 8192 /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
     mount /squid
     su - squid -c 'squid -z && squid -s'

Is it reasonable to use '-f 8192' to eliminate the fragmentation
problem on Solaris through brute force?

Thanks,

Kevin Kadow
